If you think binary (like any slashdotter ought to) 6 is one order of magnitude bigger than 3 and 6 is about three orders of magnitude smaller than 60.
I already share bookmarks, passwords, page styles etc between my Opera for Windows and Opera for Linux.
ln -s/mnt/windows_c/install/opera/profile/opera6.adr ~/.opera/opera6.adr
I think something similar can bee done with Firefox too.
Actually, I first started using Opera in the 3.60 era because of these features. Boy, was that exciting! I would surf porn pages under the teacher's nose, at zoom 20% and save the images for later use:)
But after it went to version2, things became less rosy. Version 1.x worked a charm on my old 266/512mb peecee, but the 2.x series was dog slow and ridden with feature creep. I wonder if all the dumbass features in 2.x was something AOL mandated in the app. Rest of story: I went Linux, the Mac and never looked back.
I don't know about version 2 vs. version1, but I was a happy winamp2.9 user on a Pentium 200 with 64Mb. It would just play mp3s in the background...

The government - by which I mean society's minders as codified in law and the law enforcement that makes those laws a concrete social force - creates, maintains, modifies, and destroys all the rights you have. There are no other rights. Anything else is wishful thinking. If you want that to change, you'll need a revolution. There are no natural rights. Wants, certainly. Needs too. Desires. Itches, even. But not rights.
No,no,no
You naturally have any right possible to think of. It's the laws and law-enforcement that limits your rights. Laws are like this:
You are not allowed to do the following (read:You don't have the right to do):that(1), that(2) and that(3) because these actions harm the society. Should you do such actions, law enforcement will punish you. You may do anything that is not on the list. New actions that harm society will be put on this list next time the list is updated(by passing laws to regulate it).
Note that anything that is not on the *not allowed to* list is allowed.
That is completely different from:
You are allowed to do that(1), that(2) and that(3) because only these actions are good to the society. Should you do something not on this list, law enforcement will punish you.
Now that's completely fucked up and I hope no states that work by such laws exist in reality.
Source code is nothing but a sequence of bits that can be infinitely reproduced without degradation, so you can't "steal" source code either, right?
We don't give a fuck about merely *copying* and *using* open-source software. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS
BUILT FOR IN THE FORST PLACE. But actually distributing said software as your own creation is plain wrong.
It's not like the RIAA/MPAA pirates are redistributing mp3's and selling them as their own creation ("hey, this is me Crying a River").
Of course you shouldn't care about it. It's not like the logic gates in a computer processor care about the program they run or the neurons in the brain care about you. THEY JUST WORK, they do their job.
Probably it would be best for a 'collective' mind that it's components be unaware of it.
Most people actually *see* the (small)words. You don't read the word "read", you simply recognize it visually. It's no longer a stream of letters, it's just a litle image.
But it's obvious you were trolling...
I think that a person can ask for retribution for (former) free advertising by sharing RIAA/MPAA/whatever files over the 'net,. too.
It's in the same line of thought as asking for retribution for downloaded mp3's that are counted as "lost album sales", right?
I totally agree. I won't be surprised to see USA sticking with M$ and their products when all the world will have long switched to Linux, just because it's The American Way(TM).
A friend of mine killed himself about a year ago an his family asked me to check his mail for facts that would lead to his depression. I emailed the admin of the very large webmail company my friend was using, telling him I need to see my friend's inbox, but first I would come with the official death documents, so he can see it's for real and his help is needed. I did not receive any reply.
A couple of weeks later I stumbeled ACCIDENTALLY on a forum, where someone had just posted an exploit in that company's mail service that allowed users from a certain, much smaller webmail company to import unread messages from any mail account from the big company.
Long story short, I got all mail from his inbox, including a password from another webmail service he was using...
Of course, I mailed the admins from both company, but the problem was fixed a few days later.
Here's what I do: I keep a 'persistent' folder on another partition than the one with windows, e:\install\ That's where I put all programs I need that don't need re-installation: Opera, Total Commander, Winrar, Winamp, ShareScan, DC++, EditPlus, GhostZilla, IrfanView, BSPlayer, Trillian etc.
Microsoft Office, Yahoo Messenger, Bit Defender, KlipFolio all need to be reinstalled.
If there were oil on Mars it would only prove there was life, a while ago. But echonomically, it would be completely useless because you need oxygen to burn it.

It all lies in the base of the logarithm.

I found that cplay is very intuitive mp3 frontend to mpg123
I love OO too, but I just can't get multiple data series displayed on a single chart...
I think you can still glue it to a letter filled with sand
This reminds me of Brazil...
Not a good idea, 'cos you'd have to go:
Christian
Catholic
Orthodox (Russia and most of the Eastern Europe)
Protestant (many different cults)
Muslim
Sunnite
Shiite
and so on...
I do think that a civilised religion/based poll would be welcome
